eBay pulls Google Adwords campaign

eBay has pulled their Google Adwords campaign as of Monday. I wonder if this is more fallout from the Google Checkout/Paypal issue.

 

I seen some ebay ads today.

http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=mac&meta= there are Ebay ads.

What is your source

 

CNBC television. Also Google news shows some.

The ads showing must be eBay affiliates.

Well, this sites says they started running the ads again on tuesday.

Hopefully they will stop. Their wild card/dynamic insertion PPC ads are often ridiculous.

 

If this indeed is true, then bye-bye E-bay, we won't miss you.

A prime example of Google-sanctioned web clutter that others of us wouldn't be allowed to do.

 

US ad campaigns only:

Man I hate eBay's ads. Always few cents and that's it ... Thanks God they got in fight with Google over the Google Checkout being used as alternative payment method in eBay and the scandal got really bad.

eBay ends relations with Google and is no longer AdWords Advertiser
You're wondering what's the good thing about that? Man.. we are going to increase our profits from PPC when ebay is down. eBay was the largest AdWords advertiser and was paying the lowest possible rates and therefore we got paid less, but now things are going to change. Instead of those crappy adds, we're going to get some nice ones that really pay some money.

That's Great news! Right?

Ah Google Checkout vs Paypal - this could get ugly.

 

this is the best news i have read today i hate ebay ads. it's the biggest adwords spammer

 

Ebays ads never really affected myself yet. At least I don't know it.


Ebay must be not thinking straight. Paypal is good?

AHAHA

 

ebay has so many affiliates promoting their stuff via AdWords they probably realized they don't need to be in that space directly - their affiliates have it covered.

Just a guess.

 

Dang, a regular source of amusement is going away! You could do a search for anything bad (cancer, war, satan, injury) and be shown an ad saying that it was available on eBay

So now where can I turn the next time I'm looking for some crime?

 

That's true... at least their affiliates pay quite better then eBay itself

Cheers,

great news that ebay pulled out, now we can earn more through adwords

 

I'm not sure if you can earn money with adwords, but adsense yes

 

seems like they started to make nice

latest post on the Google Checkout Blog

 

Ha ha ha ha .. that was quick .. thanks for the update.

Cheers,

They couldnt even make a show of standing up to ebay. Yes, it was actually a stupid idea, that low rent competitors pull at every ebay live, but in this case ebay had leverage and jumped on it. +1 to Ebay in the Megasite Pissing Contest

 

Ebay is stopping their advertising on Google

Google apparently did some shady moves and Ebay got a little angry. Interesting read.
